Still decorating wards. Went to Sweet Water Canal and collected Green Brush. Having one large Xmas tree for up patients.

Day 628

Finished decorating. Bed patients tree for our ward in our wing. Sisters & staff at night came around carolling. Although they are doing everything possible – does not feel like Xmas. Come of over the air from Germany that Freyberg had been captured (Bernard Freyberg was in command of the New Zealand Army during WWII – I can find no reference to him being captured at this time).

Good dinner – first turkey & mutton with green peas, cauliflower & potatoes then plum pudding followed by fruit salad & ice-cream – waited on by officers. (not sure why he’s repeated the bit about the food?). Received one small beer. Xmas Cake for tea. Church again at night.

The Amazing Adventure – also known as The Amazing Quest of Ernest Bliss (1936)
